We have temporarily disabled The Houndmaster (Bone Chill Event queue) and Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater Cosmetic (all queues) due to issues affecting gameplay.

Visit the Kill Switch Master List for more information on these and other current known issues: https://forums.bhvr.com/dead-by-daylight/kb/articles/299-kill-switch-master-list

Does anyone know if that killer viewing program is dead yet?

I heard that they finally encrypted who the killer was in the data stream but we all know bhvr's track record when it comes to fixing things like this...

So can anyone confirm if this exploit is dead and gone yet?

    I don't think so, there are people who I have wrecked that dodge my lobby every single time without fail.

    Nope, and it hasnt died for a long time. It just recently has actually picked back up, and is getting more attention

    Any program/script that used what I believe was the most widespread method (reading the log file) no longer works, as that file is encrypted now.

    If there are other ways they might still work, but I'd have no clue what other ways there might be.

    All I know that 3 different programs were marked as patched on a certain forum. The logs themselves are encrypted so unless someone found a way to break the encryption the main method was 100% patched. Maybe there's another method people are using.


    Frankly I see these types of programs as cheating because it allows you to run a counter-build pretty reliably.


    Doctor? Calm Spirit. Spirit? Iron Will and Lightweight. Plague? Resilience and no medkits. Trapper? Small Game and Slippery Meat. Hag? Flashlight and Small Game. Freddy? Small Game (to show fake pallets/puddles) replace Borrowed Time with OoO. Stealth killers? Spine Chill. Wraith? Flashlight.

    Nope. There are survivors who dodge every single one of my lobbies regardless of what killer I'm on.
